To show the sky is not falling and the 1st preseason game means very little take a look at this from the 1st preseason game a year ago and how awesome the team looked. And remember just how bad the season was

Did we see Smith in a 3rd in long tonight? No we didn't so we can't yet judge what he will do when it's 3rd and long. When we see him fail in 3rd and long then we can complain but not when he has had 1 drive and scored a touchdown on that drive. You're just complaining to complain about the qb you don't like

No, the complaints are valid. We didn't throw a pass over 8 yards. All I am saying is this, don't be fooled by one drive against the worst D in the league. That is a similar mistake everyone made in 2010.

I'm not fooled I'm not saying Smith is a lock for the pro bowl or anything of the sort. I'm just saying there was nothing to complain about when a guy gets 1 drive and takes it downfield and scores a Td. Now you are telling me not to get to excited about 1 drive but you're using 1 drive to say see hes like Cassel. That drive just happens to be the first drive of the preseason which in most cases is the most Bland generic drive a team will run all season. I'm sure they will throw passes over 8 yards during the season calm down. There's hardly anything to judge and so far the only results are positive. When that changes then you can rightfully complain but not after 1 drive

Yep seasons over and alex smith sucks since every pass wasn't a 99 yard bomb. FIRE DORSEY AND REID

Bring back Pioli and Cassel and hell even good old Haley?

You know, what Smith did with the Offense last night was very much like what Rich Gannon did in his heyday. And did anybody really think realistically that they were going to have the 1st-team Offense go bombs-away in the 1st pre-season game?

People forget that this team needs to be able to make the dink & dunk plays work first before worrying about the downfield stuff. They'll get around to throwing the ball downfield when the time is right.

BTW, as far as the "Alex Smith, game manager" aspect goes, am I the only one who noticed that the 49ers Defense suffered last year when the change was made at QB from Alex Smith to CK? And does anybody really believe that the Chiefs Defensive players are going to moan and groan about the Offense keeping long-term possession of the ball and keeping the Chiefs Defense off the field? Fat chance, because if that happens, then nobody is going to score much against the Chiefs Defense in 2013.

He doesn't throw the ball down the field. 73% of his passes last year were under 10 yards. We can dink and dunk as Cassel did against the scrubs, but what about a legit defense? What about third and 10? Third and 12?

Don't get in 3rd and long situations. He converted a 3rd and 7 and a 3rd and 6. I love a "dink & dunk" offense, It keeps the other team's offense off the field and keeps the defense fresh. Tom Brady has had great success with that kind of offense in Foxborough.
